2.2 BTS3900A (Ver.D) Configured with RFUs but Without

RRUs
When only RFUs are configured, a BTS3900A supports different cabinet configurations in 110
V AC, 220 V AC, or -48 V DC power supply scenarios.
Cabinet Configuration Principles

Maximum configuration principles for a single site
l
A BTS3900A site can be configured with a maximum of 12 RFUs.
A BTS3900A site can be configured with a maximum of two cabinet combinations (one
cabinet combination consists of one APM30H and one RFC). The two cabinet combinations
must be installed side by side with a clearance of 40 mm (1.57 in.) between them.
When a site is configured with more than six RFUs and only one IBBS200D or IBBS200T,
the IBBS200D or IBBS200T must be configured with at least two battery packs consisting
of 92 Ah storage batteries to avoid overcurrent of a single battery pack during the
discharging.
Principles for stacking and combining cabinets

Issue 04 (2014-03-14)

19
BTS3900A(Ver.D)
Installation Guide
2 Overview
An IBBS200D or IBBS200T can be stacked only with an IBBS200D, IBBS200T, or

TMC11H. When the IBBS200D or IBBS200T is stacked with the TMC11H, the TMC11H
is stacked on the IBBS200D or IBBS200T.
An RFC can be stacked only below the APM30H or TMC11H.
If auxiliary cabinets, such as the battery cabinet IBBS200D/IBBS200T or transmission

cabinet TMC11H, are required during an initial site construction, the auxiliary cabinets are
positioned on the left side of basic cabinets. If both the battery cabinet and transmission
cabinet are required, the battery cabinet is positioned on the left side of the basic cabinet,
and the transmission cabinet is stacked on the battery cabinet or positioned on the left side
of the battery cabinet.
During an initial site construction, space must be reserved for capacity expansion. Unless
otherwise stated, the original cabinets remain in the original positions and new cabinets are
added to the right side of original cabinets during capacity expansion. In a special scenario,
new cabinets can be added to the left side of original cabinets.
A cabinet combination of one APM30H and one RFC is configured with one BBU by
default. This cabinet combination can be configured with a maximum of two BBUs, and
the power consumption of all BBU boards cannot exceed 1000 W. This principle applies
to a new or expansion scenario.
Cabinet Configurations of a Single- or Dual-Mode BTS3900A

A single- or dual-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, which is installed in the
APM30H or TMC11H. When seven to twelve RFUs are configured, two RFCs are required.
When a site is supplied with 110 or 220 V AC power and does not require backup power, the
cabinet configurations of a single- or dual-mode base station with different requirements of space
for customer equipment and carrier configurations are shown in the following figure.

Cabinet Configurations of a Triple-Mode BTS3900A

The principles for configuring a triple-mode base station are as follows:
l
When a triple-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, the BBU is installed in
the position of BBU 0 in the following figure.
When two BBUs are configured in the initial site construction, the BBUs are installed in
an APM30H and transmission equipment is installed in a TMC11H.
During capacity expansion, if there is space for a second BBU in the APM30H, the BBU
is installed in the APM30H. Otherwise, the BBU is installed in a TMC11H.
When a site is supplied with 110 V AC or 220 V AC power and does not require backup power,
the cabinet configurations of a triple-mode base station with different requirements of space for
customer equipment are shown in the following figure.

The installation of the BTS3900A is classified into three scenarios: a single cabinet is installed
alone, two cabinets are installed side by side, and two cabinets are stacked.
When two cabinets are installed side by side, the clearance between them must range from 40
mm (1.57 in.) to 150 mm (5.91 in.). If a noise reduction module (NRM) is required, the minimum
clearance between two cabinets is 300 mm (11.81 in.).
The following figure shows the clearance requirements for the APM30H, TMC11H, RFC, and
IBBS200D/IBBS200T configured at a BTS3900A site.
NOTE
The three cabinets in the following figure may be an RFC, a TMC11H, and an IBBS200D. The installation
clearances for an IBBS200T are the same as the installation clearances shown in the preceding figure, but its
planform is different from any of the three cabinets in the preceding figure.

11.9 Installing Boards in the BBU and surge protection

boards
When an outdoor base station originally configured with RFUs is expanded to support RFUs
and RRUs, BBU boards and surge protection boards need to be installed onsite. When an indoor
base station originally configured with RFUs is expanded to support RFUs and RRUs, only BBU
boards need to be installed onsite.
Context
l
The boards in the BBU to be installed onsite include the WMPT, WBBP, GTMU, GBBP,
LMPT, LBBP, UTRP, UPEU, and UEIU. The actual boards to be installed depend on the
configuration requirements of a base station. The following uses the procedure for installing
the WMPT and UPEU as an example. The procedures for installing other preceding boards
are the same.
The surge protection boards to be installed include the UELP and UFLP.
Operation Rules
l
When moving a board, you must hold the board with both hands, as shown in the following
figure.

12.1 Cabling Requirements

Cables must be laid out according to the specified cabling requirements to prevent signal
interference.
NOTE
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements

Bending radius requirements
l
The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the bending
radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96 in.).
The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the bending
radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 127 mm (5 in.).
The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times its diameter.
The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of its diameter, and the bending
radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).
The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.
The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.
Cable binding requirements

l
Cables of the same type must be bound together.
Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.
The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.
The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.
The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.
After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.
Security requirements
l
When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.
When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.
Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.
Indoor cabling requirements

l
Issue 04 (2014-03-14)
Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.
155
BTS3900A(Ver.D)
Installation Guide
Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.
When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.
Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements

l
Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.
The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.
When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.
When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.
Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.
Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.
Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.
When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE
There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l
A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.
A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
CPRI fiber optic cables.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling of power cables
l
Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design documents.
If the length of power cables is insufficient, replace the cables rather than adding connectors
or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.
Cables can only be laid out under well-planned instructions. The cabling activities of fiber
optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication facilities are
available.
Do not circle and twist cables.
Issue 04 (2014-03-14)

158
BTS3900A(Ver.D)
Installation Guide
After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along the shortest
path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the inside of the rails.
After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips to secure the
power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform. Ensure that there is no
excessively long distance between the equipment and the position where the power cable
is secured.
Cabling of PGND cables

l
PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of ground bars.
PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors.
The external conductor of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded cable must
have proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment to which they are
connected.
PGND cables and signal cables must be installed separately. A certain distance must be
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
Switches or fuses must not be installed on the PGND cables.
Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the ground
terminal.
Cabling of E1 cables
l
E1 cables must not cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when laid out. If
transmission cables are laid out with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables in parallel,
the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
E1 cables are lined up straight and bound neatly with cable ties.
Sufficient slack is provided for E1 cables at turns.
E1 cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as shown in the
following figure.

BTS3900A(Ver.D)
Installation Guide
The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40C to +60C (-40F to
+140F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or select
another route.
Do not circle and twist cables.
Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.
Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the fiber optic
cables away from sharp objects.
When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
An unarmored fiber optic cable must be bound using binding straps. If a fiber optic patch
cord needs to be secured in a cabinet or a piece of equipment, use binding straps to bind it
and then use cable ties to secure the binding straps to the cabinet or equipment. Ensure that
the fiber optic cables can flexibly move in the cable ties. Do not bend the fiber optic cables
sharply. The following figure shows how to bind the fiber optic cables correctly.
Figure 12-5 Binding fiber optic cables
When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the fiber optic cables
with force.
Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
The fiber optic cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as shown
in the following figures.
